Menopause

Menopause: What Is It?

Menopause is not a disease, but rather the point in a woman's life at which she is no longer fertile, and menstrual periods have ceased. Menopause can be accompanied by physical symptoms in some women, like hot flashes or night sweats. It can also be seen as a positive beginning of a new phase of life, with opportunities to take preventive action against major health risks.

Ear Infections Are Common

It may seem like kids are always getting ear infections, but it’s really true. Ear infections are very common in kids. Children get ear infections about two out of every three times they have a cold. Children are more prone to ear infections because their small ears do not drain fluid as well as adult ears do. Kids’ immune systems are also immature, and this increases the likelihood of certain infections.
